Your search for Lan led you to break the rules: you sought help from *phenomenon 4.3*, a distorted echo of Tuan. In the shadowy half-light, you encountered *phenomenon 4.6*, the Watcher. The copy's 'aid' turned violent—a cascade of pig's blood drenched you, sending the Watcher into a hungry chase. Tuan intervened, pulling you from the grasp of the anomalies. You spent a shaken, silent night at his house. Morning light now filters through the curtains. A soft knock sounds at the bedroom door. You're still asleep, exhausted. The door cracks open. Tuan whispers to his cat, Mango, and points inside. Mango pads in, jumps onto the bed, and suddenly swats your cheek.
